Ugh, not the god-child? How boring. Just seems like squandered potential.

Gonna consider passing on this.

Might be a squadmate...

Mmm, that would be interesting. TBH I've been playing Joe Shmo's for a while now. Shepard and the DAO guy were not particularly impressive (no offense to Shep since he got pretty cool in ME2).

Looking for a special main character like Baldur's Gate or KOTOR.

I wonder if they'll release the PC requirements before release, do we need to upgrade anything?

Dragon Age was not, and was never meant to be, a trilogy, but rather a franchise with many games based in the world.

That REALLY needs to be stickied. By a dev. Because a lot of people just don't get it.

That's all fine and dandy, but what some folks are trying to say is that line of thought does not lend itself to the term "sequel". A sequel is a continuation of the preceding story. When the “sequel” doesn’t have much to do with the previous story, but especially has little to no appearances of the characters of the previous story (especially the freaking main character), then it really isn’t a sequel. Mentioning previous events in passing does not apply. It’s like in D&D – you finish a campaign, and you start up another one. It can be set in the Forgotten Realms, like your previous campaign, but it’s not a sequel. It’s just another campaign set in the same world. DA2 shouldn’t be called DA2. It should be called DA: Another Campaign Set In The DA World – or something – because it’s not a freaking sequel, GDit!

So... How is it a sequal?
No Warden?
No Morrigan ending?
No Morrigan's child?
No return of old favorite characters?
All new adventure?

Anyone else as dissapointed as I am?  I mean They didnt exactly put an ending on the 1st one.
As much as I LOVED the 1st one I'm not exicted about the next

A good sequel needs to be differrent. Sure I want to see the good old characters back but that would be redundant.

Put of all Bioware games, I was closer to my Shepard. He is my fav Bioware PC, but I do think the demon baby will be important make that a squadmate, NPC or even the villian.

Plus DAO was never intended to be a trilogy.

They might do something similar like in KOTOR2 where you will get asked questions and such at the start. As far as I know, there will be no importing.

Kotor II...like...questions....-shudders- u mean where we say the Warden went off on a magical journey and never came back.....-headdesk-

No like who was king, what happen to the Dalish ect. Things like this.

Personally, I like the Idea of it being about new characters, the lifts a lot of creative restrictions on Bioware. I don't really feel like I need an email from the Werewolves to validate my decision anyways.

Yes...yes...someone should have told Mario Puzo and Francis Ford Coppola that when they wrote Godfather 2. How excited would you have been if Terminator 2 had nothing to do with Sarah or John Conner, and was just some other story of how some other Terminators hunt, annoy, and kill people? How about if Aliens just completely ignored the fact that Ripley got away and just told a different story with different people. I could go on and on, but the whole point of the idea of "sequel" is to continue the same story. Many sequels retell the same story over and over, let's face it not many writers are truly talented, but a good sequel will continue it, and yes with many of the same characters. That is what a freaking SEQUEL is for Pete's sake.

DA2 does not sound like it is actually a sequel - merely another story set in the same world. I was hoping for an actual sequel, hence I am extremely disappointed....right now. If further news sheds more authentic sequel light, then I reserve the right to embrace it at that time.

I'm on board with this sequel. It seems to be addressing the problems I had getting into Dragon Age as much as other people did. Don't get me wrong, loved the game but really never felt the need to play through it again.

"# Go deeper into the world of Dragon Age with an entirely new cinematic experience that grabs hold of you from the beginning and never lets go.
# Discover a whole realm rendered in stunning detail with updated graphics and a new visual style."

Cinematic Experience was one of my gripes with Dragon Age. The Cinematic quality just wasn't what I wanted out of a game these days. Also, the Aesthetics, really didn't care for them. All the brown, brown, brown.

Also, I support the narrower character focus. I know most people don't, and saying so won't win me many friends, but I like it. I'd prefer playing a Commander Shepard type whom I can bend to my decisions, personality and sense of morality, then I do a generic randomized hero.

Oh and please don't insult my intelligence or "elite-hardcore-able-gamer-ness" over this opinion. I know many people don't agree with this opinion on this site and that's fine. I've already given this opinion a lot of thought and I don't see myself changing my mind. (I've tried forcing myself through another play through of Dragon Age and I just don't have it in me. It's a great game, but I just don't have the urge to play it over and over again. I just don't feel the same enthushaism about it as other gamers.)

Just want to say I've got nothing but positive feelings about this so far.

But if Hawke is a female, who is the guy on the cover of the gameinformer magazine? And what's the point of bringing in old characters? That would suck in my meaning. I'm sure they come up with some awesome characters to Dragon Age 2

[Cypher0020]

Like Mass Effect and Dragon Age 1 that Hawke is probably the lead man/cover art guy... even though Devs confirmed we can play male/female and proably customize

I wished we could use the default warden in advertising, he was cool.

If dragon age 2 has a "canon" hero, does that mean his/her parts will be voiced?

I think it's certainly a possiblity. Not really a whole lot of point in speculating to much at this time though is there? Of course aside from the obliglatory "I think Voice Acting is dumb and is only for streamlined dummies" "Well no voice acting is stupid." "You're mom's stupid." "Voice acting could add some depth." "At the cost of content!"  fan response.

I'm totally in support of it if they do it. I'm also in support of them doing things in a Vampire Bloodlines first person dialog view, as long as it looks good and doesn't feel weird. I really feel that if your not gonna have the main character voiced you need to go into first person view when he's talking to people. That is of course just my opinion.

[Ceacre]

Now I'm going to say what everybody already knows but couldn't it be like Hawke is the main characters surname? And then we come up with a first name that fits? And that we also will be able to customize the appearence of our character? Because we didn't really play as the guy in the Urn of Sacred Ashes trailer or the Grey Wardens trailer, at least i didn't

The only thing we know about character creation is that you can choose a male or female Hawke. Could it be you can still choose him/her to be human, elven or dwarven? I understand you can also determine your own class...



So what changes really? The origins story didn't have a great impact on the main story if you ask me...

[Tamcia]

They switched my char with some Hawke?

No Morrigan?

No old companions -Alistair, Oghren, Wynn, Leliana,Shale, Zevran, Sten, Dog meeting again in the legendary group???



Thats is very disappointing. Feels like I don't need to keep my save game anymore, was hoping it would be more than ME series continuation, yet I was wrong...

[Turran]

Damn, I really wanted to import my characters over, and re-unite with old favorites like Shale, Dog (Yes I said Dog! I feel a bond each time I play!!), Wynne and Sten.

Its a shame it is all getting replaced with some random guy-hero, but at the same time we could meet our character while playing and recruit them.. (Or not now I had a second to think about what I just said)



But anyway, I really don't like the idea about HAVING to play a Human, (I want ma' Dwarfy and Elf-things )

[Cypher0020]

Well.....who's to stay we won't meet up with them again? Or at least see a reference?
